The first day of Governance! We are getting into the last chapter of the summer school; even if we start being a bit tired the level of enthusiasm in discovering new shapes of big data is still very high. The day started with Jos and Uli giving us an overview of the topic we will face in the last three days.

In the morning two great speakers took the floor and gave inspiring lecture. Kavita Ziemann, from The Hague Institute for Internationaliastion of Law (HiiL) spoke about the different tools and infrastructures that policy makers might use in innovating justice. On the other hand, Jennifer Easterday from JustPeace Labs spoke about responsible frameworks to approach data.

For the action lab session of the day Danna Ingleton from Lead Responsible Data Forum, presented a loop to promote critical thinking about data in multiple projects and increase data ethics. In the afternoon we therefore divided in groups and tested the loop with different real existing projects presented by the group members. Tutors followed us in this process and guided us through the steps of the loop.
